Default It happened again...

Well, this morning, similar thing...

Cold start, after a few minutes rev limiter kicks in, but this time at 2500, but then creeps up to 3000rpm.

This time the rev limiter bounces around the 3200 mark, instead of dropping to a lower rpm first.

This time I noticed an insane amount of knocking just before it kicked in, rhythmic rattling in tune with the engine. might be related?

After sitting for several hours...
Pulled out for lunch today, rev limiter kicked in at 3000rpm again, but this time VDC turned off, the traction warning light came on, and I have a check engine light this time. So, off to the dealer tonight for them to take a peek at it. I'll post back when/if they find something. At least there's a code this time... (sigh)
